Honey's Story

Meet Honey, a 10-year-old, 35# Border Collie with a soft heart, soulful eyes, and the gentle wisdom only a seasoned companion can offer. This sweet, sensitive “country girl” is happiest when life moves at a peaceful pace. Lovingly known as Sweet Pea and Honey Dew, she is a true “people” person. Her favorite place in the world is right beside her human.<br/><br/>Honey’s joys are beautifully simple: mealtime (she never misses it!), quiet sniff-walks in the woods, and trotting out to “check the perimeter” of the yard. She adores respectful, easy-going canine friends and would prefer one in her new family. We think she would befriend kitties, given her sweet disposition. Afternoons spent snuggling on the couch are her favorite. Her theme song is “I Think I Love You” by David Cassidy: once she bonds, she loves with her whole heart.<br/><br/>As a senior girl, Honey's energy is steady and balanced. She’s reliably housebroken, comfortable in a crate for short periods, and wonderful on leash in quiet, wooded areas. Loud noises like traffic and city sounds are frightening for her: she prefers the hush of nature to the rush of cars. Honey would thrive in a rural or very quiet home where she’s accompanied outdoors, not just “let outside”. She’ll happily supervise gardening or peaceful outdoor chores, join a quiet trail walk or relax while you read a good book.<br/><br/>Honey would do best in an adult home with a patient, emotionally attuned person or couple who offers affection at her speed. To show her true self, she needs a balance of gentle encouragement, choices, and a sense of partnership, never force. At the same time, she doesn’t want to be coddled. More than anything, Honey is looking for a balanced human who walks quietly on the earth, laughs easily, and returns the deep, steady joy she so freely gives.<br/><br/>If you’re seeking a tender-hearted companion for life’s quieter adventures, Sweet Pea is waiting.<br/><br/>Honey is being fostered in Minnetrista, MN.<br/><br/>Honey's adoption fee is $350 + MN sales tax. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Upon adoption, all of our dogs go to their new homes with a collar and harness, leash, starter food, blanket, favorite toys & treats. They are current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention.<br/><br/>As a foster-based rescue, we do not have a central facility to visit. Meet and greets with specific dogs are arranged once your adoption application (not an inquiry through Petfinder) has been received, processed, and approved. We are located in Minnesota and adopt to an area 400 miles from Minneapolis/St. Paul.

Heart of a Border Collie Rescue's Adoption Policy
Please read 'Do You Have What It Takes' on our website (www.hoabcr.org/how-to-adopt) before applying to adopt a dog through our rescue. You may also find information about Border Collies helpful (www.hoabcr.org/border-collie-info). Steps in our adoption process include: 1) Filling out an application. Taking this step indicates you are truly interested in adopting a dog - it is not binding. 2) If your application meets the requirements for the dog you're interested in, it will be screened through an initial interview with one of our volunteers. If your application does not meet the requirements, you will not be contacted. 3) If we determine your home could be a good fit for one of our dogs, we will complete reference and vet checks, and set up a home visit, which may occur in person or virtually. 4) If approved, details about your application are sent to the foster that has the dog that you're interested in. If the foster feels you are a match for their foster dog, they will call you to talk in detail about the dog, and possibly move to an in-person meeting. Meetings are allowed AFTER applications are fully approved as described above. 5) If that dog is not deemed to be a good match, we may suggest another dog for you, or your application will be kept on file for a potential future dog. 6) Adoption is complete with payment and a signed adoption contract. Our adoption fees are specified in individual Petfinder listings. The fee includes spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm and Lyme tests, rabies & distemper & Bordetella vaccinations (if old enough). Our dogs go to their new homes with a collar, harness, leash, rescue ID tag, starter food, toys and blanket. We are required to charge appropriate MN sales tax.
